Powdered "sugar"

It was one of those quiet afternoons where Jared & I could actually enjoy conversation for more than five minutes. We did hear a lot of "No! Naughty! Stop it!" in Isaac's room; but he seemed to be enjoying himself. With a measure of silence, however, parents begin to worry. And this is what we saw.

Evening Activities at the Laney House

Isaac wanted to put on his garden gloves, which announced so very clearly one night before bed. What you have here is a prime example of Isaacal-style; we thought the hat would "lend a dash of drama." He danced and sang, though you wouldn't know it from this picture. It rather looks like he's been forced into something ("You're a monkey, Derek!").
I snuck a flattering picture of Jared in right afterward, but he managed to get me back. Our evenings in Isaac's room are getting more and more drawn out as Isaac learns the art of distraction for use in stalling bedtime.

Smarty Pants

In his Dad's shirt, Isaac is one smart fella.
Here he is, ready to pray.
The video shows he knows a lot of English, but his Dad is teaching him Spanish.
Hopefully he won't get too confused!

I'm a Boy!

Back in time

ok, so i thought we'd go back in time and put up some of the little dude's cuteness from closer to when he first showed up. all of these are pretty close to newborn, except this one to the left. i had to put it in. we went in to get him from his nap and he wasn't in his bed. there was a trail of destruction starting at the bed and going to the closet...where we found him fast asleep with his head in a book. trace and noelle might remember this... :)

this one is one of the first pictures taken of him...ever! (except the ultrasound)

just for fun...
